Nuclear War

The current global nuclear threat level is elevated due to a combination of factors, including the recent US strikes on Iran that have reportedly damaged its nuclear program but also increased Iran's incentive to pursue nuclear capabilities. Additionally, the UK's acquisition of F-35 jets capable of carrying nuclear weapons and ongoing modernization efforts in the US, such as the completion of the B61-13 nuclear bomb, indicate a trend towards enhanced nuclear readiness. These developments occur in a context of weakened international treaties and reduced diplomatic channels, exacerbating the risk of miscalculation or escalation.
